You would not be able to check "Active Duty" unless you had orders for 90 days active service, all served at the same time (consecutive days) in that 1 year. Drills and AT do not count as active duty. After entering your W-2, you will be able to flag it as military pay. It's the first item on the list of checkboxes after entering the W-2.
